The Buffalo Sabres are making moves, and making them fast.
After dealing defenceman Marco Scandella to the Montreal Canadiens for a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft on Thursday night, the pick was then flipped to the Calgary Flames in exchange for forward Michael Frolik.
Scandella has spent his last three seasons with the Sabres after being part of the return for franchise forward Jason Pominville from the Minnesota Wild. Through the 176 games for Buffalo, he has scored 14 goals and 44 points while averaging 20:05 TOI.
Frolik has spent his last five seasons with the Flames after winning a championship with the Chicago Blackhawks and spending a brief couple of years in Winnipeg.
